I wish this had been my idea: Tim Hwang is blogging the Berkman Center’s coffee selection. Will it be French Roast or Italian Roast? Tully’s or Van Houtte?
We have one of those obnoxiously un-green, would-make-Al-Gore-weep Keurig thingamabobs. It’s fantastic in some ways; you choose your own flavor (rather than getting stuck with the same cheap Maxwell House crap everyone else will drink), you brew it yourself (ensuring its relative freshness), and Berkman is great about stocking ten or so varieties at any given time.
Unfortunately, many of them are icky, at least to me. And unlike Tim, I haven’t been patient enough to test each new flavor as it comes. So, thanks Tim! I’ll be enjoying a nice cup of Italian Roast in three…two…

Kneel before Keurig!
fascinating and educational, but would participate in something more on this topic?
The idea of blogging something as small as an office coffee selection is somehow perfect, it is the sort of hyperlocal detail that makes a workplace feel human. I love your point about brewing it yourself ensuring freshness; we tried a similar setup at our office and the variety was great until nobody wanted to be the one to test the weird flavors. Do you think that kind of tiny, specific blogging still has a place now that everything online seems to be chasing scale?
